The Problem

Live streaming is everywhere. Discovery is broken.

Every major platform — TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Twitch — organises live content by algorithm, topic, or follower graph. None of them answer the simplest question:

"What is happening live, right now, near this place on Earth?"

No geographic discovery

You cannot search for live streams by location on any major platform. The map is the most natural way to explore the world — and it has never been applied to live video.

Algorithm gatekeeping

Platforms surface content based on engagement metrics, not relevance to place. A streamer broadcasting from a remote village has zero chance of being discovered by someone curious about that exact location.

No on-demand model

There is no way to commission a person already on the ground to show you something specific. The Scout economy — pay a local to be your eyes — does not exist yet.

The Solution

A live map of the world, made by people

Flontr puts every live stream on a map. Tap any pin to watch. Request access. Tip the streamer. Or send a Scout Request — commission someone on the ground to show you exactly what you want to see.

01

Tap any pin

Purple dots are people live near you. Gold pins are featured streams. Every pin is a real human broadcasting right now.

02

Request access

Send a free access request. The streamer approves or denies. No algorithm, no follower requirement — just a direct human connection.

03

Watch live

Peer-to-peer WebRTC stream opens instantly. Tip the streamer, mute, or go full-screen. No app download required.

04

Scout Request

Pay a streamer to show you something specific. A market, a street, a building. The future of remote exploration, built on Flontr.

Market Opportunity

A $108B market in 2026 — projected to reach $345B by 2030

The live streaming market is growing at 34% CAGR and is forecast to exceed $345B by 2030. Geographic discovery remains a completely untapped vertical — validated by Periscope's map feature being its most-loved capability before Twitter shut it down in 2021. No successor has emerged in five years.

Revenue Model

Three revenue streams, two at launch

Live at launch

Viewer Tips

15% platform fee

Viewers tip streamers directly during a live session. Preset amounts ($1–$50) or custom. Processed via Stripe. Flontr takes 15% of every tip.

100 tips/day × $5 avg × 15% = $75/day
Live at launch

Scout Commissions

20% platform fee

Viewers pay a streamer to show them something specific. Minimum $5, no maximum. Flontr takes 20% of every Scout Request fulfilled.

20 scouts/day × $15 avg × 20% = $60/day
Q3 2026 roadmap

Creator Subscriptions

$4.99–$14.99/mo

Streamers pay for verified badges, priority placement on the map, analytics dashboard, and higher tip payout rates. SaaS-style recurring revenue.

1,000 creators × $9.99/mo = $9,990 MRR
